HelpRe: Is the name Walter too old fashion?
in reply to a message by Emezli
I've met a kid named Walter. He had a little sister named Honor. This was in the midwestern US.
It does seem old-fashioned in that it gives off a buttoned-up Edwardian vibe to me similar to Alfred or Laurence (or it gives the impression of a "grandpa name" that could get more popular, sort of like Casper), but there's nothing wrong with that. Walt lightens it up, and I like that as a NN.
It doesn't sound old-fashioned in a goofy way like I'd feel Chester or Elmo does.
